Dear Richard and Christine, Cheryl and Keith, Congratulations! Well done. We were talking about you yesterday while seeing some old photo albums at Norbert and Benny's place and today we see you in Daijiworld. It is an honour and privilege to celebrate Mother Mary's birthday in our own houses and you have done it with a large gathering of friends.
May our Holy Mother bless you abundantly and fill you with Joy, Peace, Unity and Happiness. You can see some friends from muscat also on this media. Congratulations to Daijiworld for this beautiful coverage of our Holy Mothers world tour commencing from Mangalore.
It has revived some cherished memories in our hearts. We hope to be with you for your next year's celebration.
Please can I have teh contact details of any Mangaloream associations in London as I only know the whereabouts of Goan organisations. Lived in London for 11 yrs and have had no real contacts with the Mangalorean groups. I would have loved to have attended the monthi feast which was always a special feast for us in Mangalore as kids.
It is good to hear that the tradition is alive in London also.. Good job done.. Mother Mary bless you all for celebrating her birthday in Mangalorean tradition..
